I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for

work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning,

I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!

And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my

activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza （狂欢）？

No. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was

thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises —and I just needed to be alone with

it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I

couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through

Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates （异乡客）.

I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a

daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. 1 had accidentally come across

the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.

Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I

was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was

downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words,

I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me

the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.

5. Why did the author skip school on that day?

A. Because her parents left home early.

B. Because she was fascinated by a novel.

C. Because it was a cold winter morning.

D. Because she hated to take the biology exam.

6. What did the author think is the source of true joy?

A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.

C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one's passion.

7. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into" in the last paragraph?

A. Entering. B. Destroying. C. Mending. D. Blocking.

8. What can we infer from the passage?

A. I was tired of my real-life roles.

B. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.

C. Hemingway skipped school when he was young.

D. I learnt how to write on the Internet.

Anyone who commutes （通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans

are not alone in facing potential backups.

Ants also commute — between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on

doing this efficiently.

When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense （稠密）enough to slow down the

flow of traffic, causing jams. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to

know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various

widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. "The goal was to

try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam." said Sebastien Motsch.

But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jams. The flow of ants did

increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never

slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.

The researchers then took a closer look, at how the behavior of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole.

And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas,

which prevents jams. These behaviors may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a

trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding （碰撞）with each other at high densities, which could really

slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.

Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to

getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to

be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for

self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans — and more like ants.

9. What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Surviving. B. Avoiding jams. C. Finding food. D. Commuting.

10. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?

A. By controlling the widths of their path.

B. Through closer observation.

C. By finding out the dense points.

D. By regulating their numbers.

11. According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because.

A. they follow a special route

B. they level off at high densities

C. they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds

D. they never stop or slow down on the way

12. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Traffic Jams B. Unavoidable? Not for Ants!

C. Survival of an Ant Colony D. Differences Between Human and Ants

I personally think trains are exciting and romantic. I must admit that trains are not important means of

transportation in the US, but 1 do have some experiences with them.
